Well I can't control Mother nature but am sick of it. I accept it but don't have to like it, Lol. Yes!! I can say that without being pissed haha. If thats all I have to bitch about I'm doing pretty good. I still have some of the same serious issues in my life out of my control but they don't get to me or rent space in my head. I stay rooted in a spiritual plane and actually enjoy not having to run the show for a change. Can't say i don't get too lazy with it sometimes. IDK know if I could say my life is perfect don't want to sound arrogant. However its pretty dam close and only because of my level of acceptance. All because of the 12 steps of AA. Its not always easy or the way I like it and thats OK. The rewards are profound. Does my head still try to bring me to other places? Of course, but I see it for what it is today, just my disease talking. When it talks I nip it in the but cause i know who I am and very comfortable in my own skin. The good and the bad, its all good. . Just wanted to check in and say hi I'm still here and sober. All you who live in Fla. send me that heat!!!! Brrrrrrr.
Your serenity level is 1 billion times higher and I know you worked hard and surrendered more and walked through some of your worst fears to get there. Rock on Enigma! Cold snap here in Florida....in the 40s tonight *ducks snowball barage*

This week we saw 26 degrees with all day rain ... couldn't believe it ... ice formed on power lines and trees, many came down, horrible mess ... then we got a touch of snow and last night we got down to TWO degrees F ...
